Kevin Cummins Joy Division exhibition in Manchester
exclusive 1978 joy division picture not by Kevin Cummins
A new Kevin Cummins exhibition, ‘Exemplar : Joy Division’, is running at The Manchester Photographic Gallery until February 26th.
the exhibition features many of his defining images of the band which are some of the best rock n roll photos ever taken (the photo to the right is obviously not one of his!)
We went to the preview a couple weeks ago and its breathtakingly brilliant. This is definitely one to go to.

Very impressive exhibition. The stark white walls of all three floors provide the perfect backdrop to the black & white photos. “Iconic” is a much-over used word these days, but I had a real sense of being in the presence of something truly memorable. Mind you, at £995 for a very limited edition photo, they should be.
The ‘scribbles’ in the photograph look like the Armenian womens mark before the Genocide – Along the same idea but not quite Throbbing Gristle, if you know what I mean.
